It looks like Southwest Louisiana could be facing five days where the high never tops 60 degrees. It starts tonight when north winds hit Lake Charles and tomorrow's high is only 59 degrees. Then it gets colder.

This video was made during the noon hour today. We were under a "Significant Weather Advisory" and a "Tornado Watch." It was extremely windy and pushing the lake water northward. The Yacht club and beach were both flooded.

We have been very lucky this Hurricane season and keep your fingers crossed that this pattern holds. There is a storm just beginning to cross the Atlantic that looks like it could form into a tropical system.

A tropical wave moving off the coast of Africa has a decent chance of developing into something tropical.

We have been lucky so far this Hurricane Season. It looks like our luck will hold with Tropical Storm Bertha.

Don't wear your saggy pants in Jennings. It is illegal. We wanted to know what you thought about that, the outrageous winner on "Wheel"  and if you thought we would have another freeze. Here are this week's poll Listener results.

Go ahead and put that garden out ... and don't plan on sending your kids to the store to buy your e-cigarettes. Our poll shows listener's predictions for spring and future laws concerning e-cigarettes.

Looking ahead at the ten day forecast the lowest temperature expected is 44. Could spring finally be here to replace one of our coldest and wettest winters ever?Do you think we have seen our last freeze this year? Take our poll and let us know...

Climatologist note that January was unusually warm and have issued an El Niño Watch. Usually El Niño years mean fewer named storms during the hurricane season.

With the Royal Gayla and Lundi Gras party tonight and the parades tomorrow... the weather has took a turn for the worse as Lake Charles prepares for Mardi Gras celebrations.

So far there are no weather related road closures in Southwest Louisiana. There are several to the north of us though.

Do you remember playing the game where everyone stands in a circle and one person whispers something to the person beside them and then each person tells the next what they heard? By the time it got back to the person who started it ... it rarely resembled what they actually whispered to start with. That happens a lot with weather.
